No.
143  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: The pool Eligius is behaving strangely on: March 11, 2013, 09:50:48 PM
It's not really a problem there were just transactions sending .00000001 outputs all to the same address to several addresses. 

This was strange because it puts more data in the block chain, and Luke Jr., who started this pool, hates these .00000001 transactions. 

Since this block I believe some of these outputs have been consolidated into larger outputs.   Maybe the pool Eligius is just taking "unspendable" outputs and over time turning them into spendable ones again.  Maybe they're doing it for a fee.  I don't see a problem here. 

At first I thought that this pool was trying to bloat the blockchain, maybe to prove the point that the blockchain shouldn't bloat, but I do not think it's malicious now. 

The single satoshi transactions do not have transaction fees on them. It is pretty interesting.

The pool must have included those transactions without worrying about the rules.

In response to your second question.  If someone changes the message than you can check the signature and it will come back as invalid.  You would need the private key to sign the new message with the correct signature.  To check the signature you would need the public key of the person sending the message. 

PGP keys are used by people who place trades so that they can have a consistent, almost unhackable, identity.  Reputation can be built on this identity.

Submitted for your approval.  The block

https://blockchain.info/block-index/357198/000000000000033818fb20338be1fe1b223f7018bdad8ee4cea5f396cf5523e8

has many transactions that send one satoshi to another address.  The block is so big it's just under the 500k new soft limit. 

I know this block was found by the Eligius pool because a payout address 17JMTVdHdCqu5WcU1cWeye83JQwXoHZCSm  for the newly generated coins is active at Eligius.  http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/17JMTVdHdCqu5WcU1cWeye83JQwXoHZCSm

You can even mach up the last payout with the payout in block 357198.

This is a strange thing to happen for a pool so concerned about block chain bloat.

The newly generated coins go to many address only Luke-Jr's old pool does that. 
Nope, p2pool does that too...

you can however easily check on eligius' stats and p2pool's stats if the block and/or payout addresses show up there.

I just did it's form Eligius.  The first payout address has a page at Eligius and the payout that Eligius claims is what the block has payed out to this address.

The armory page doesn't claim that messages can be encrypted.  It only claims that messages can be signed.

This block has several transactions that send one satoshi to hundreds of different addresses.

What's up with that?

This is a strange question.  It's not possible to ban such a patch.

Laws.  More specifically,

Those who claim to be the masters of people in the United States don't think they want their property being able to transfer funds without a record.

It looks to me like someone's dumping their BTC nice and slowly

I dont think what SD does is good, but blocking addresses isnt really in the spirit of bitcoin  Sad
I'd welcome a better solution myself, but I haven't been able to think up something that works without screwing up Bitcoin adoption at the same time.

Maybe break a block into three pieces.  50 kB free/high priority, 200 kB fee paying transactions excluding SD  50 kB fee paying including SD.  

Then the dice users would feel pressure to pay a fee.  While the non dice transactions feel little effect from the SD strain.  There are other options.  Maybe SD transactions that pay double could be included in the middle part of the block.  

Sdice could also change its business model so that users send bitcoins gamble, then withdraw when done.  
159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Many tiny incoming transactions = bad/expensive to spend? on: March 07, 2013, 11:56:16 PM
You can also use the custom transaction interface with a blockchain.info wallet. 

Just put your inputs as

.92BTC +                                      .5BTC payment
dust transaction        ------>          .42 + dust payment

With blockchain.info this works best if there is only one dust transaction at that address. 
The raw transaction should do something similar and I believe it can resolve the issue of many dust payments to one address.

How about you sit on the $320 worth of BTC for 2,5 years.  After then you'll be able to afford the flight. 

If bitcoin continues to rise and doesn't crash yeah, but unfortunately I myself don't think it'll rise that high. BTC would need to reach $126/BTC for that. I got bored of bitcoin when it crashed down to $3 back in 2011, it bugs me to this day lol. Should have bought a lot....

It's only triple.  2,5 years.  That's totally possible.  You can work and squirrel away a bit of money to help supplement this endeavor.
